What's Going on With Sean Couturier?
The Flyers' longest-serving player and team captain, Sean Couturier, is struggling to put the puck in the net this year. His last goal came on December 7th against Colorado, half a season ago. He is c...

because there's an olympic break ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
For the sake of the Flyers' rebuild, they have to find more minutes for young players
If the Flyers are rebuilding, why aren’t the kids playing?
The Flyers’ rebuild hinges on finding out what they have in their young players, so how can they get them more involved on the other side of the break?

I switched my fledging blog to Ghost for this very reason. Doing the same with not posting more on Twitter. I’m hurting my ability to grow by being on smaller platforms, and am relying on my own SEO skills and a lot of luck. But this is just a hobby and they don’t deserve even my meager traffic.
Leave the nazi bar. If you have products on a platform that supports, monetizes and profits from actual nazis, maybe you aren't as anti nazi as you think. There are options, like ghost, and people here who have left the nazi bar and moved to a more progressive place to drink. Successfully.

I'm really trusting Briere to deliver this well. I hope he just extinguishes this bullshit so we can all get back to the important and very real issue: how do we acquire Quinton Byfield?
According to Flyers PR, Flyers GM Daniel Briere is going to speak to the media after warmups. I'm guessing to address all the Michkov stuff.

I'm skeptical about a lot of the recent reactions coming from the hockey world being directly from Tocchet. These are voices in the industry who are trying to get clicks and views and that's working. I would hope Tocchet isn't happy with all the noise. If he is neutral on it, not a good look.

Drysdale's underlying numbers have taken a massive hit since his incredible start to the season. He was good until around December-ish and the wheels started to come off.

A draft where there’s no true consensus 1OA that’s overwhelmingly winger heavy? Oh yeah, the Flyers are winning the lottery.

I’m not completely out on Tocchet yet, but I can fully say I really hate how “messy” he is when it comes to communicating insider info. The weird passive aggressive jabs to nameless players, etc. It probably won’t affect non-internet approval because those fans like him doing it, but I’m not a fan

Been trying to broaden my music this year with some newer stuff as I've primarily just been listening to the same stuff since college. Here's a sample of songs that I think rule, so if you like any of them and know of any suggestions, I'm all ears! I'll add to this list over time.

passing for the sake of passing just boosts your APM, doesn't make your power play actually better.

I love @prashanthiyer.bsky.social's work and always make time to read it. I do think you can make a case for a lot of players being better or worse than a WAR model designates them as so, but I'm skeptical Chiarot is one of those cases.

Today is the saddest I’ve felt in awhile. I don’t know how you fix all this on the whole, or even if it is possible to fix.
But I do know that doing something now is more important than ever. Contact your local groups (like DSA), call your reps and make it clear how you feel. Fuck ICE. Fuck Trump.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end.
I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Ok, I'm going to give the TLDR here. I had a whole thread of images and whatnot and Bluesky deleted it. I'm a bit salty, but I shall move on.
Theory: I thought he was fine, not amazing.
Most models agree with each other that TK had a strong game. Very high offense, not great chance prevention.

Would be curious to know more about what the data shows from TK last night. I thought he played a really irresponsible game. Stark contrast be he and Tippett in how they showed up for such a big game. Tippett led by example and IMO TK is showing kids what NOT to do.

Owen Tippett watched enough of MacKinnon tonight and thought, “Oh right, I can do that.”

Owen fucking Tippett. Dude has easily the highest ceiling of players of the team but only sometimes remembers it.
